Welcome back to Epicly Later’d… sorry its been so long. For the first episode of Season 7 we have a Kevin ‘Spanky’ Long episode update redux. I say that because Spanky already had a few episodes in the early years of the show. But we thought his story needed an update.
We started this episode not long after Kevin got kicked off Baker and Emerica and we filmed an interview every 6 months or so until recently. That’s why his hair keeps changing lengths throughout the show. He got kicked off sponsors for drinking and partyin’ and basically not skating all that much... he also got set on fire, his wife bailed, his mom died… a series of bad events. But through it he thought ‘i’m not done yet.’ He didn’t let it beat him and got back on the board.
Kevin is very inspiring to me and his attitude towards skateboarding refreshing. In my interviews for the episode, Atiba, Jerry, and Neck Face all referred to Spanky as their best friend, and I would also like to think of him as my best friend too. So this piece is special to me, and I hope that comes through. Hope you enjoy it.
Patrick O’Dell

i used to watch all these videos when i was like 10 or something and i never realised how much alcohol ruined these peoples lives.
Baker team particularly. It's an echo chamber. Similar people group together and whatever shit they doin' gets pushed further and further
I'm not sure 'ruined' is the correct word here. Baker was like a group full of people living and partying like rockstars, it has never been only about the skating, but the lifestyle. They went through it and grew out of it, but that previous period also had to be there.
they use alcohol as a blanket term to not put people on blast fyi - alcohol is the least of it
my favorite Internet series is back from the dead. thank you vice, and a special thank you to Patrick O'Dell
hope we get to revisit the dude soon on this level. spanky made such a great comeback in recent years. a top 5 for me for sure
I remember seeing Baker 3 when it premiered, i was so young.. Sad to see how the fame gets to people, Alcohol almost ruined my life, crazy how that stuff is "Legal" but it can kill u and totally ruin ur life..
How come Jerry Hsu's is almost EVERY episode of Epicly Later'd? Did he just like sit down with you guys for 8 hours and you asked him everything you could think of about every skater you wanted to do an episode on or about any kind of drama in the skateboard world?
this is jerry's third appearance on the epicly later'd. hahaah this guy has the VIP seat
Jay It's probably like his 8th or 9th
Wow. A VICE video that actually plays. Dude. Concept.
+Zerkbern Seriously. It's getting old. I've tried multiple browsers as well. I don't get it.
Thatsamerican
It's Location Filtering. You can only fix it by moving to another country. VICE is blocking most videos from being viewed in the USA. I wish they would just TELL US why!
I know this is true, 'cause when I proxy my connection through Canada, I can watch the vids just fine.
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
Thatsamerican
NP.
+Zerkbern well, I know that Shane Smith, the main guy of VICE is Canadian, so they definitely would allow their content to be shown in Canada. That's weird how they aren't showing it in the States though. I wonder if they are choosing not to for a specific (most likely childish reason) or if they are being blocked by some other source (which doesn't seem possible because there is no FCC for the Internet).
Can you make an epicly later'd on the fucking awesome team
Deathwish,Baker,ShakeJunt
+Jason Belcourt naw, Fucking Awesome is better
+Miguel Carrillo they have on dylan, dill and AVE, maybe you are talking on the AMs?
Ramon Ramos they are all very outdated and it would be cool to look at Nakel and Kevin's lives.
Seriously thank you for this. He was my favorite skater growing up and I know I wasn't alone.
As soon as I saw this I thought it was the old one just re-uploaded. Thank you so much for this. Even though I've read tons of stuff about Spanky's falling out of skateboarding where he was kicked off of Baker this is still insane. One of the best dudes you could ever possibly get for an epically later'd.
The only other person that comes close that I'd like to see would be suciu. Oh and add T-Funk. Kid looks like he is 8 and yet he skates like a grown ass man.
0:59 has always been my favorite sw fs 360. i loved that part. "come on, spanky already blintzed that it the emerica video."
Aww man even if I quit skating years back this makes my heart smile ,, epicly laterd ftw
FInally Epicly Later'd is back!, been waiting for too long.
So rad seeing old skate photos I had on my wall, what like 15 years ago now?! Crazy
thanks vice for bringing back Epicly later'd. I watched all the other ones. you should deff do a T-funk one. especially now.
I remember driving him when he was a kid to Santa Monica with my son and some other kids to skate, from Agoura.
I grew up watching Baker 3 and Spanky was someone I looked up to cause we we're close in age, I wish I still skated as much as I used to.
This video is actually amazing man its really cool i was implessed
just finished the last one and was like why isnt this longer then luckily saw this haha good choice to make another one
ABOUT TIME! need more epicly later'd in my life.
You guys need to fix your vice news daily

glad to have you back Pat!
"we were just fucking around, lighting eachother on fire"
-neckface
Awesome revisit, love that Spanky is back!
This was when skating was the shit. I remember watching baker 3 everynight after the skate park. I still have the' Spanky' shoes and leo romeros RVCA pants lol
"I didn't talk to any girls" oohh so that's where the name 'Spanky' came from...
isn't this video already uploaded/old or is this a new season of epicly later'd?
It's a new episode. Just checking in on Spanky.
It's 2022 and he put out the part of his career a couple months ago.
Holy shit a new epicly latered, and with spanky too? this is awesome! is there some episodes planed with others aswell?
This might seem like an odd question, but can anybody tell me which beanie Jerry is wearing?
oh spanky... time has not been kind to you.
damn spanky roast session

Thank you for this

Love his style
DEEUM..
YO, SPANKY!!
1 of my favorite skaters..
he was already rippin on city stars
We love this shit, need a Barley episode
ITS BACK!
Was that neck face at the end?
Everyone on baker turned into major alcoholics
Odin666 street skaters are natural Losers.
Vert skaters are smart.
Clit Commander wow.. that's a lovely generalization..
@@clitcommander6603 street skating has no barriers to entry whereas pro vert skaters most likely on average had wealthier childhoods, having had ramps in their backyards and such to get lots of practice hours in. so it's biased
Please do a Heath Kirchart episode.
No freaking way !!!!! So dope
I know it's a revisit of an older episode, Kevin is dope but seriously you kind find anyone new ? I love epicly later'd but It feels like I already know what this episode is about from watching the older one. I was anticipating a brand new episode. But this is just a revisit. It's cool an all just not what I expected.
didn't know his story after baker 3....
do Corry Kennedy!!?
Revisit lizard king please!!
this was a cool session
About time Pat
Vice, you should do one on Bryan Herman.
best series
damn all the baker dudes young af and look like they're in their 40's.....mofos party too much
That's my middle school HIGHLAND PARK
WTF 3:99 - 4:07 playing a german hip hop track of one of the best german albums ever released... Did they skate to that? I mean i did here in germany but in america?!
*celebrate just to try* I love that 😂
no interview with herman?
The ending of this vid, what the fuck spanky?!? This made me sad
wow for real? so sick!
Kevin RULES

Why they kick him off Baker?

Do one on tfunk
Need one for Jerry ha. Where tf he been?
Neckface gettin' deep
YES!!!
Heath episode please Patrick
Was it worth the wait?
Forgot how good he was
Anybody know what those jeans are called that all the skaters wear? They're low cut and they normally are sitting above your shoes so you can see their socks? Plz respond I'm actually serious
+mason3079 called jeans to small for you.
they're called chino pants but most of the time skaters just cuff their pants
